About this course
La Cita Golf and Country Club sits in Titusville on Florida's Space Coast, where the Indian River Lagoon meets the Atlantic barrier islands. Ron Garl designed the course in collaboration with Lee Trevino, who lent his playing expertise to the routing and strategic concepts. Garl, a prolific Florida architect, has built dozens of courses across the state since the 1970s, typically working with the region's flat terrain and water management requirements to create playable yet challenging layouts. The course occupies land characteristic of central Florida's coastal plain—relatively level with natural wetlands, palms, and native vegetation framing the holes. Water features prominently in the design, both as hazards and as part of the area's drainage ecology. The layout reflects Trevino's preference for strategic shot-making over pure length, offering multiple angles of approach and rewarding accuracy and course management. Garl's shaping provides definition and visual interest within the constraints of the topography. La Cita serves a residential community and operates as a semi-private facility. The club offers traditional amenities including dining and social spaces that cater to both members and outside play. Titusville's location near Kennedy Space Center and the Merritt Island wildlife refuges gives the area a distinct identity, and the course provides a golf option for residents and visitors exploring Florida's east-central coast. The design remains a straightforward example of late-twentieth-century Florida golf, balancing accessibility with the strategic principles both architects valued.
